[edit] Cathy Ryan, Absence of Kids (deviation from the book section)

Catherin muller appears in the movie, but in the book they are well after the third child and married for a long period. this was also established in the Patriot games movie. can anyone add this? LyTe 20:02, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neo-Fascists

The characters in the movie were not Neo-Nazis, they were Neo-Fascists. They made a point of mentioning fascism specifically, and it is unwise to confuse the terms Nazi and Fascist. --Blue Spider 09:10, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

01:43, 13 June 2007 (UTC) :: I don't agree:

Dressler's watch doesn't show the old (pre) WW2 Italian or Spanish mark of fasces but a swastika. No dichotomy. Also, the uprising of neo-nazi groups in Europe, the worldwide cooperation of nazi's and aryan nations are mentioned specifically. Chargen 01:45, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

Tattoo : mr. Mason (the dockworker) is asked for the origins of his tattoo. The tattoo is the "Join or Die" rattlesnake [Join or Die[1]]Chargen 02:11, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Fighter The IAF fighter in the opening scene is an Dassault Mirage (presumably type Mk5). The CIA jet is a Dassault Falcon 900EX Chargen 02:11, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Error in "Deviations"

The "Deviation from the Novel" section includes: "the setting in the movie is in a post-Soviet world." This is not a deviation - the book is also set in a post-Soviet world. I will delete that statement from the article, unless someone disagrees.

I don't recall there being an issue with the Russians and Chechnya in the book; should that be a deviation as well, or is it covered under the deviation from Muslim extremists to Fascists? IstvanWolf 11:51, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nemerov vs. Narmonov

In this article, the Russian President's name is spelled Nemerov, but both in the Sum and Cardinal books, Clancy clears writes his name as Narmonov. Narmonov is also the way that the wiki article spells it, as well as most of the google hits.

In the film, it's spelled (and/or pronounced) Nemerov, so the wiki article is correct here. -> deviation? --Chrysalis 05:57, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Smoking

Smoking is used as a plot device in the movie. Dressler says that Smoking Kills, the nuke is camoflaged as a Cigarette Vending Machine and Dressler is killed by a bomb connected to the Cigarette Lighter of his car when trying to light a cigarette.
